:-) It's true! Believe in it or not, when he played for São Paulo U-21 Kaká was never treated like a future star. Moreover he was constantly benched at that time.
His fortune changed when the coach of the first team saw him in action in a youth tournament. In his very first professional game for São Paulo he played just 15 minutes, in a decision of a summer tournament, but scored two goals and then lifted the trophy.
Just one year later he was called for our NT who won WC 02, what is very rare to happen. Some talented players wait their whole career to play for our NT in a WC and never had the chance.
